wannabe

Hello, I would like to hear from people who have made it to the flight deck.

I am a 28 year old female secondary teacher and have just spent a year as cabin crew for EK. I had never thought I could one day become a pilot until I saw sponsorship ads and applied. It's extremely early days yet but I have started dreaming about it...
I have only had one hour flying lesson and really enjoyed it. I have also spent a week paragliding (I know it's not the same...) and would love to do it again.

Now could you please tell me if I should just stop dreaming now, because I am almost 30, have no experience and have never been very interested in physics (I have a MA in literature!) and my eyesight isn't perfect, or if there are people out there who made it against the odds.

I would love to hear about your experience...

Thank you
